Two tunnels in Lyon connect the River Saône and River Rhône, with one being car-free for bicycles, pedestrians, and buses. Alameda celebrated the Woodstock water shuttle's success, carrying over 100,000 riders in its first year, highlighting the demand for alternative transit. Despite its capacity limits leading to unmet ride demand, plans are underway for additional service and potential bridge development. Currently, Alameda has six car crossings, including two car tunnels that connect to downtown Oakland, providing existing transit options.
The car-free tunnel in Lyon serves bicycles, pedestrians, and buses, emphasizing its utility for non-motorized transport compared to the accessible car tunnels in Alameda.
Alameda's Woodstock water shuttle celebrated carrying over 100,000 people, indicating high demand for alternative transportation across the estuary, exceeding initial expectations with its ridership.
Despite successful events promoting the water shuttle, there is concern over capacity, as not all interested riders could board due to the shuttle's 31-person limit.
Discussions are ongoing about increasing service frequency for the water shuttle and the possibility of a bike-and-pedestrian bridge to cater to the escalating demand for non-car transportation.
